I think the backup battery might have loses its capacity... Pls suggest ur troubleshooting ideas for this problem

thanking you

 

Replace battery first and then try any thing else.

 

You can pull the battery and try to recharge it with another charger. If that works, it may be the UPS charging circuit.
You may also be able to "bring back" the battery with a good charge.

If you pull the wires off the battery, wait 15 min or so, then measure the battery voltage with a meter, if you have less than 13v or so, your battery may be bad.

 

thank u friends i will try it

 

hello friend i measured the voltage of battery when Mains supply is on, meter reads 13.40V. when i removed the terminals and measured the battery voltage it only measures 12.60V... And one more thing transformer is hot i don y..? ok shall i change the battery?

 

Pls reply friends shall i change the battery

 

That is a good idea.

How old is the original battery?

 

It has been working properly for two years.. And transformer is getting too hot any problem in transformer or its a normal heat

 

How hot? Cook an egg hot, of uncomfortable to hold your finger on - hot?

You may think of trying a desulphator. Sulphation can cause the problem you are having, especially with low charging currents.

Give it a try. It may do the trick (takes a month or more) but hey, cheaper than a new battery and you dont have to throw it away.

 

ya exactly i cannot hold the hand for more than 5 secs... What is desulphator? i am not aware of that

 

It sends pulses of energy into the battery that helps reverse the effects of aging (in batteries)

 

oh.... thanks for ur info dude... but how the action takes place?

 

This will teach you about sulfation:
